Create your own Hot, Fresh Pizza in minutes at TPC, Singapore's first smart ordering and self-payment Pizzeria kiosk!

The Pizza Collective (TPC) delivers freshly baked hot pizzas with a few touches on the smart ordering and self-payment kiosk. And not only that, you can catch all the actions of the pizza artist from the open-concept kitchen, while waiting for your pizza to be ready.

Though the selection of signature pizzas are limited (only six for now), TPC does not skimp on its ingredients and quality. The pizzas here are not pre-baked, but freshly made upon order and baked in the traditional stone hearth oven. 

With over 28 toppings and 5 drizzles to choose from, TPC allows personalisation to the last detail. Think unique drizzles such as the "coke drizzle", the "hot drizzle", as well as the "wasabi aioli drizzle" would make your pizza creation stand out from the rest. 

The TPC concept is to encourage customers to exercise their imagination and be creative when it comes to customising their own 10.5" pizza. 

For those who are new to the concept of self-ordering and self-payment service system, I have listed down a step-by-step guide for your easy reference.

Creating your own pizza is simple, it can be fun and exciting too.

All-You-Can-Eat Roast Meats And Sides - New Carvery Restaurant at Park Hotel Alexandra serves premium meats sliced to order, limitlessly. 

From Asian and International to Dim sum and vegetarian, there are plenty of buffet restaurant options in Singapore. But how about an all-you-can-eat carvery restaurant? That is probably the first in Singapore, or else at least it's my first dining experience at a carvery restaurant.

The Carvery, located on the seventh floor of the newly opened Park Hotel Alexandra is a dedicated carvery serving succulent meats sliced to order with all the sides and trimmings you can eat. The carvery station features three to four cuts of meats daily and an expertly prepared range of condiments and sauces to complement your choice of meats.

I had my eyes opened wide when I saw a block of truffle butter next to the condiments. Definitely, this has nothing to do with Nicki Minaj's Truffle Butter song, or the explicit meaning of it; please don't try to google it.

Making The Cut

Okay, moving on to the meats and condiments collection. Diners can look forward to a daily changing menu of three to four meat options such as the Pork Knuckle with Crackling, Beef Prime Rib, New Zealand Roasted Leg of Lamb, and Rotisserie Chicken.

There's a lot more to The Carvery than roasts, you can enjoy a variety of condiments to perfectly accompany the assortment of roasts as well as over 50 wines labels by the glass or bottle.

Condiments And Sauces 

Robert Chan - Executive Chef at The Carvery had assembled a line up of condiments and sauces (as below) to marry the meat selections. 

• Butters - Anchovy butter and Truffle butter (for dinners only).
• Salts - Black lava, Pink Himalayan, Maldon sea salt and Chilli-infused salt.
• Sauces - Veal jus, Red wine sauce, Béarnaise and light chicken jus. 

A suggested condiment pairing and wine pairing for the Beef Prime Rib would be - Maldon sea salt, red wine jus & anchovy butter and 2013 Montes Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile, respectively. 

There are no hard and fast rule about whether you should stick to the suggested pairing, or just go with your own preferences. 

Trimmings and Starters

Chef Robert have specially curated a selection of eight or twelve side dishes at lunch and dinner; he strongly believes that a classic pairing will completely enhance the enjoyment of his guest's choice of meat.

For instance, the British would choose the crisp and fluffy Yorkshire pudding (available at dinner only), creamy Mashed potatoes and corn on the cob to pair with their meats. 

Whereas, the French will surely enjoy the Lyonnaise potatoes sautéed in butter with onions an parsley or soft Vichy carrots lightly glazed in sugar and butter. 

For me, I went straight for the roasted garlic, polenta chips, french long beans and the Yorkshire pudding which I thought complemented each other perfectly. The host of sides are rotational depending on the seasonality of fresh produce. 

The major carnivore can also start with the greens or seafood on ice, as well as some hot dishes and a la minute pasta.

Without hesitation, I stuffed myself with a few helpings of homemade breads and artisan  flatbread pizzas, simply because I just love carbs and bread.

For desserts, it's a simple affair of cakes and an assortment of fresh cut fruits. I would suggest you go for the classic British Trifle or a comforting Spiced Apple Crumble to complete your meal.

If you are wondering what a New York style pizza is like, here are the answers. New York-style pizza is traditionally hand-tossed and consist the basic form of a light layer of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese that's just all. 

New York-style pizza is characterised by large hand-tossed thin-crust pies, and the pizzas are commonly sold in wide slices. The pies at Tony's Pizza are large around 18 inches (45 cm) in diameter, and cut into 8 slices. At Tony's Pizza, you can have your pie by slice, half or even full which is ideal for families. 

To cater to Singaporean's tastebuds, Tony's Pizza has introduced additional toppings to be placed atop the cheese. Read on more to find out what pizza flavours and toppings are available. 

Tony's Pizza flagship store located at 397 River Valley Road offer customers a quick meal and take-aways. The second outlet at Bugis Junction has a higher sit-in ratio, and provide customers more comfort for dine-in. 

The dining concept of Tony's Pizza is simple and casual. Firstly, check out the menus available at every table, then order and make payment at the counter, lastly grab a seat and have your orders brought to you. What I like most about Tony's Pizza, is their friendly pricing - what you see is exactly what you pay, there is no service charge and tax making things easy as you will not get frustrated when splitting the bill with your group of friends. 

Buffalo Wings 6 pieces - $5.90 / 12 pieces - $10.90 / 24 pieces - $20

Not limited to pizzas, Tony's Pizza offers a selection of pastas, sandwiches, salad and sides including the signature Buffalo Wings which comes in 6, 12 or 24 pieces. They are deep-fried and tossed in Tony's Pizza special house-made sauce. If you are a buffalo wings warrior, you can challenge yourself to 3 different spicy level - Mild, Hot and Atomic. 

But if you are shy about spicy food (just like me), I will recommend you to go for "Naked" or Barbecue (BBQ) buffalo wings with the blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Tony's Special Meatball Pasta ($12.90)

The meatballs with Tony's Pizza special house-made tomato sauce gives this dish a really wonderful flavour and texture. Kids and adults alike will go mad for this simple meatball tomato sauce pasta, no doubts about it.

Atmosphere Bistro is a casual dining bistro nestled amidst the verdant greenscape of East Coast Park's latest development named as Parkland Green. The bistro is built around the concept of seaside dining, providing a relaxing ambience for customers to enjoy the breeze while having a meal or over a glass of wine. In keeping with its slogan (“Two atmosphere, one space”), Atmosphere Bistro caters to families in the day with its bistro offerings, and to an older crowd at night as it transforms into a bar.

Atmosphere Bistro makes up one of the eight dining establishments at the park, the family-friendly bistro operates from 10:00 am over the weekends till late, and they are only open for dinner on the weekdays. The bistro serves up a plethora of Western dishes filed under various kitchen categories. From 12” pizzas and sharing platters to grilled favourites and hearty mains, Atmosphere Bistro’s comprehensive menu leans heavily on well-made classics that are executed with local flair.

A notable mention is their signature dish, Flaming Pizza (featured $22.80). Splashed with generous toppings of prawn, salami, capsicum, and assorted mushrooms, this scrumptious pizza makes for the perfect sharing dish with family and friends.

Whether you’re after a delicious bite to refuel after sweating it out at the park, or simply chilling out with friends at night, Atmosphere Bistro’s smorgasbord of appetisers and snacks promises to hit the spot. Must-tries include Truffle Fries (featured $8.80), which are tossed with truffle oil and grated Parmesan, and Mini Burgers (featured $11.80), a trio of mini burgers with flavourful BBQ glazed grilled patties. Customers looking for a sweet treat can definitely look forward to their Molten Lava Cake (featured $11.80) served with smooth vanilla ice cream or a selection of cakes such as the Rainbow Cake (featured $7.80).

Straight from the grill comes an assortment of skewers and grilled eats, such as the succulent Teriyaki sauced-glazed Grilled Squid ($9.80), the mouthwatering Pork Bratwurst ($4.80) or the 70-days grain fed Ribeye steak (featured 25.80). For mains, you can never go wrong with Miso Salmon (featured $18.80) baked Norwegian salmon glazed with miso sauce using the same recipe from Shin-Sapporo Ramen. Pasta lovers can choose from the wide selection of baked rice (Meatball Baked Rice $14.80) and pastas (featured Seafood Aglio Olio $14.80). 

But if you’re up for a challenge, bite into Atmosphere Burger ($22.80) – consisting of pork, turkey and chicken patties, this massive triple-stacked burger is definitely not for the faint-hearted (limited servings a day). 



Equally impressive is their extensive alcoholic drinks list, which comprises a wide variety of cocktails, beers, spirits, and liqueurs. But if there is one drink that is not to be missed, it has got to be their signature Calpis Kirin Frozen Beer (featured $13.00). It is one of the now-trending frozen beer slushies available at Atmosphere Bistro’s Kirin Frozen Beer range, and makes for the ultimate thirst-quencher to beat the oft-scorching heat in Singapore. 

On the non-alcoholic front, diners will also be spoilt for choice with the selection of mocktails, milkshakes (featured Mango Milkshake $9.00) and smoothies available. Caffeine lovers will be surprised to discover cute latte art including 3D art on their coffee (featured Hot Mocha Art $6.60 / Hot Cappuccino 3D $7.00 / Hot Cafe Latte 3D $7.00 / Ice Cafe Latte 3D $8.00).

49 Seats - Strongly upholding its brand which features the signature metal gate, metal mugs, metal plates and hanging lights, the casual dining establishment takes pride on its well perceived identity. With no GST and service charge, 49 Seats offers a variety of western fusion dishes and a good selection of beers and alcoholic beverages, there is no better way to enjoy your meal at greater value than most eateries. 

The second outlet of 49 Seats centrally located at Orchard Central remains affordable and easier to enjoy than ever before. The new Orchard Central outlet is open daily for lunch and dinner, whereas the main outlet at Chinatown is open for dinner and supper only. The menu for both outlets are the same, featuring the popular Tom Yam seafood pasta, Creamy Smoked Duck Pasta, Old Fashioned Fish and Chips and more.

Drinks served in signature metal mugs

Do you know that 49 Seats has about 10 signature must try dishes and not just one or two? We probably tried everything on the menu, except for desserts as it was not available when we were there. Featured here are all the must-try items (except the beef) recommended by 49 Seats. Did you see any of your favourite dishes below and what do you think my votes would be?

Combo - Fries, Onion Rings, Fried Wings, Calamari, Chicken Nuggets ($29.90)

Fish Bites (10 pc $9.90)

Golden Escargots (8 pc $9.90)

Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($14.90)

Smoked Duck Aglio Olio ($14.90)

Seafood Marinara ($13.90)

Sirloin Steak with Black Pepper Sauce $19.90

Old Fashioned Fish and Chips with Al Scampi ($16.90)

Chicken Chop with Mushroom Sauce $13.90

49 Seats serve a good range of light bites, pastas and main courses. No matter what your choices, there is always something exciting to look forward to. I would strongly recommend the light bites - Cheese fries (must order), Popcorn chicken (not featured) and Fish bites. For mains, you must go for the legendary Tom Yam pasta if you are a spicy lover. We love the special blend of the tom yam which gives the pasta an irresistibly creamy taste. You can also try the best selling Creamy smoked duck pasta (we requested for aglio olio instead of cream base); and for the rest of the mains they were cooked just right, but weren't exciting enough. As for desserts, we didn't get to try any, but there are just three selections on the menu - Wicked brownie with ice cream, Classic banana spilt and Waffle with ice cream.

What struck me most was the value, all the dishes are priced below $20 nett except one dish - the Sirloin Al Scampi at $24.90 (not featured). 49 Seats is super affordable for students and adults alike, this casual dining place is definitely good for groups, however reservations are recommended.

We just found out some promotional details with Safra membership, you get additional 10-15% off the main course at 49 Seats and the promotion is valid till 10 November 2015.
